The Louis project at 14th and U has begun construction of a protected pedestrian walkway on the west side of 14th Street just south of U. We had hoped this protection would be up sooner, however the construction team was delayed by some ongoing work by PEPCO in the area. Earlier this year, I testified before the DC Council Committee on Transportation asking for requirement that all construction projects in the District provide safe accommodation for pedestrians and bicyclists if sidewalks or bike lanes are interrupted. I specifically included protected and covered pedestrian walkways in my testimony. According to JBG, the walkway will be about 2/3 complete by the end of the day and operational by the end of the week.
